Thank you for your reply.
I previously tried it with Xorg 7.1.99 from the (unmaintained?) git repository which had a release date of December 2005. Both my current version and 7.1.99 were built from sources as described on http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide and not from the slackware repositores.

Also, the new driver installer detects it as "Xorg 7.1 or later" and properly installs (unlike the previous ones - you had to export X_VERSION="x710").

Because of this, I don't think the Xorg version is the problem - probably some of the configuration files or some bad library links. I was hoping the strace log can show something, but I'm not experienced enough to see it. If I need to post more info, please tell me.

Maybe I'm off the track with the strace log and everything. On a higher level, when I start amdccle, it just "runs" without error messages on any channel (stderr, syslog, etc) and with negligible memory and cpu consumption, but nothing else happens (even after a long time).
